Parkin, who specialises in personal injury law, civil litigation and employment law, will lead the expansion of the Harrogate-based firm as it looks to launch a specialist immigration law department. 

Truth Legal has recently opened a specialist consumer law department and a property litigation department.

Parkin - vice-president of Harrogate and District Law Society - has worked for the firm for six years and joined its board as a director in 2016.

She said she is looking forward to 'working with the home-grown legal talent that exists across Truth Legal' and added: 'My career began here as a trainee solicitor, and it has been a great experience to contribute to its future success, and at the same time to see similar growth in my career.'

Former managing director and company founder Andrew Gray said: 'Georgina has been a key member of the team at Truth Legal since we were in our infancy ... As the firm’s first lawyer hire, I don’t regret the 14-hour job interview which Georgina endured all those years ago.'
